I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
(HARP INTRO)
Baby, you used to stay out, all night long
Made me cry, done me wrong
Hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Table's turnin', now her turned around
Because I used to love her
Girl it's all over now
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Well, I'm used to wake good mornin' with my breakfast in bed
I got worried she would cleave my little head
Now she's hear and there
With ev'ry man in town
And still tryin' to take me
For that same amount
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
Well I used to love her
But it's all over now
(GUITAR SOLO)
Well, it's move on around
With ev'ry man in town
And tryin' to take me
For that same ol' clown
I used to wake up in the mornin'
Feelin' just fine
Not anymore
- he's there !
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to loved her
But its all over now
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
Baby, you used to stay out, all night long
Made me cry, done me wrong
Hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Table's turnin', now her turned around
Because I used to love her
Girl it's all over now
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Well, I'm used to wake good mornin' with my breakfast in bed
I got worried she would cleave my little head
Now she's hear and there
With ev'ry man in town
And still tryin' to take me
For that same amount
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
Well I used to love her
But it's all over now
(GUITAR SOLO)
Well, it's move on around
With ev'ry man in town
And tryin' to take me
For that same ol' clown
I used to wake up in the mornin'
Feelin' just fine
Not anymore
- he's there !
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to love her
But it's all over now
I said I used to loved her
But its all over now
But I used to love her
But it's all over now
